Yes, I'm talking About Breasts Again

It's not the results I was afraid of, it was what I had to do to get them. In this episode, I'm sharing my experience getting my very first mammogram. From the anxiety before the appointment to the infamous "squish," the oversized waffle-maker machine, and the moment I realized I'd been avoiding it for reasons I hadn't fully understood. If you've been putting yours off or you're wondering what to expect, I hope this honest conversation helps make it feel a little less intimidating. 🎙️ Listen wherever you get your podcasts. 💬 Let’s connect: What are your thoughts on this episode?

Topless Women Teach me About Taking Up Space

After wrapping up a client contract that left me questioning my business, my abilities, and honestly, myself, I found myself spiraling into some old patterns I thought I'd already worked through. Then I went to Portugal. What started as a birthday trip quickly turned into an unexpected lesson about confidence, people-pleasing, self-worth, and the exhausting habit of making ourselves smaller for the comfort of others. And surprisingly, that lesson came from watching a couple of topless women sunbathe on a beach. 💬 Let’s connect: What are your thoughts on this episode?

Maxxing - why am I seeing this word everywhere??

If dictionary.com makes "maxxing" their word of the year, I will literally scream. In this episode, I’m unpacking the rise of “looksmaxxing”, an online trend gaining traction among young men that promises a better life through extreme physical transformation. From rigid diets (starvemaxxing *rolls eyes*) and intense workouts to more disturbing practices, this version of self-improvement raises bigger questions about worth, identity, and what we’re really chasing. But this isn’t just about them. As a woman, I've been through this in a personal capacity - maybe I didn't smash my jaw with a hammer, but I sure thought I had to look a certain way to be successful. In this episode, we explore: What “looksmaxxing” actually is and where it comes from The connection between self-improvement and self-worth Why this trend is more concerning than it first appears The subtle ways we may be participating in similar thinking How to rethink self-improvement from a healthier place A conversation about: identity, worthiness, beauty standards, and the fine line between evolving yourself and losing yourself. 💬 Let’s connect: What are your thoughts on this episode?

Why Now?

I’ve been thinking about this podcast for over five years… and I’m finally hitting the record button at 49. In this first episode, I talk about what took me so long, how I turned what should have been a simple idea into something overwhelming, imposter syndrome, and why talking about doing something can feel easier than actually doing it. Find out what shifted everything for me and the realization that I didn’t want to wake up a year from now still saying, “I’m going to start.” I don’t fully know what this podcast is yet. But I do know it's no longer just living in my head. 💬 Let’s connect: What are your thoughts on this episode?
